Large single swing gates WIDER than 8 feet and double swing gates WIDER than 16 feet require us to wood crate the gates. This is necessary in order to ship these large, ornamental items to you in the best condition possible. We charge $125.00 for wood crating gates wider than 8 feet and $250.00 for gates wider than 14 feet. These costs are built into the unit cost of each gate on this website.
